Keep Food Safety in Play this Super Bowl
WASHINGTON, January 28, 2026 - Super Bowl parties often feature takeout, delivery and foods that are served over several hours. To help prevent foodborne illness, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is reminding fans to keep food safety in play on game day.
"When food is served throughout the Super Bowl, it can be easy to lose track of how long it's been sitting out," said USDA Under Secretary for Food Safety Dr. Mindy Brashears. "As Americans gather to enjoy the game, keeping food hot or cold and serving it promptly helps protect family, friends, and guests from foodborne illness."
